[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4465116, member: 2844"]I suspect the latter.:sorry: For one thing, what would be white on a Suffragette item, is cream on this buckle. The colour combination was fashionable in 19th century Central Europe. Another thing is that Bohemian suffragettes were closely linked to the Bohemian/Czech quest for independence from AH, and used Bohemian/Czech colours, not the Suffragette colours we know. Interesting fact is that, although women couldn't vote or be voted for in Austro-Hungarian elections, they could in Bohemian elections, because there had never been a ban on women's vote in Bohemia. (Yay Bohemia!)[/QUOTE]
